Back to Sonnenberg - Basket Hallway
This hallway, on the first floor, was called the Basket Hallway - Mrs. Thompson was very interested in the preservation of Native American culture and collected baskets made by various native groups of the American Southwest. The baskets were displayed in this hallway. Her interest continued to grow and in 1920, she was awarded the Cornplanter Medal for her support of Native American cultural preservation and understanding. Most of the basket collection resides at the Ontario County Historical Society while a portion of the collection was bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC after her death. From this hallway you could enter through the archway into the Drawing Room. Located in the mansion at Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park at 151 Charlotte Street in Canandaigua, NY.
